IMPROVEMENT IN HANDLES FOR CHILDREN'S CARRIAGES.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES H. WHITE, of Newark, in the county of Essex and in the State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Handles for Ohildrens Carriages; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon making a part of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a handle for childrens carriages, as will be hereinafter more ,fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, which represents a side View of my improved handle for childrens carriages.

A represents a metallic tube, of any suitable size and shape, forming the center of the-handle. In each end of this tube or cylinderis inserted a wooden handle, B, through the whole of which passes a rod, a. Upon each end of the rod 0, close up to the outer ends of the wooden handles, which are hollowed out or made concave, is placed a ball-shaped knob, 0, provided with a socket, D, for attaching to the side pieces of the carriage, and the whole is connected together by means of an ornamental nut, E, screwed upon each end of the rod to.

The knobs C O at each end are turned, and can, consequently, be made very cheap.

By placing the two wood handles upon a rod, an exceedingly attractive handle can be made without paint, which is very desirable on a fine carriage. They may also be made of glass, porcelain, or japanned metal.

The main part A B of the handle may, 0 course, be made of one solid piece of wood, metal, or other suitable material; and I do not confine myself to making said handle of any particular number of pieces, as it may be made in one or more pieces and of any desired material.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The turned knobsO 0, provided with sockets D D, and used in combination with a handle for a childs carriage, substantially as herein set forth.

2. As an article of manufacture, a handle for childrens carriages, consisting of the handle A B, made in one or more pieces, and the turned knobs G C, provided with sockets D D, and all placed upon a rod, to, and secured together by the nuts E E, substantially as herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand this 22d day of December, 1871.
